The softest parts of you Bend in the air Of eyes and feather like bones The closed (open) mouth syndrome That penetrates the disconnected sounds of worlds Thrown at each other in the dark A kind hew of melancholy that surrounds you As I am numb everywhere That you have touched and the long withering hand That reaches out to me no longer shows the details of Lost nights that glistened against your face And your twisted alphabet is now left To burn on the embers of faded ghost memories
